Hardware specs are also not sure for now as it is client machine.

This is going to be a difficult task for the following reasons:

1) pg_upgrade(https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/pgupgrade.html) only goes back to 8.4. So you will need to use other tools if you want to emulate it.

2) 8.2 --> 13 represent 14 years of changes. In particular the implicit type cast changes that happened in 8.3. You will need to testing to determine whether what you are doing in 8.2 is going to work in 13. Also why version 13?

3) The size of the data set.

In other words there is going to be a lot of preliminary work and testing that is going to need to be done before you even start the transfer. The first of that is determining what your setup is. My guess is you will end up doing this in stages of using intervening Postgres versions.
